Notes From Jack Prather
For over 30 years Johnny Mercer was one of the great poets of American pop music. His words made the music of composers come alive - Harold Arlen, Hoagy Carmichael, Jerome Kern, Henry Mancini - and many more. Here are 12 Johnny Mercer lyrical masterpieces, performed by master singers Stephanie Haynes & Dewey Emey.
The sensitive accompanists are pianists Karen Hammack and Gerry Schroeder, drummer Tom Ravel and trumpet/flugelhorn & vibesman Brian Atkinson. Special thanks to ever-aware producer Mark Davidson.
Relax and listen to songs of love, and tales of rivers that run to the moon. Here's Johnny Mercer heard through the ears of The Great American Music Company.
